Husband really likes these, he usually wears Birkenstock. The arch support seems a little better in the Mephisto.

Throw away your Birk's; these are the cat's meow. No nasty toe grabbers and they're cushioned nicely with great arch support. Overall outstanding although somewhat spendy, but then, so are Birk's!

Great sandals, puts Birkenstock Arizona sandals to shame. Better arch support, better cushioning. And best of all it has some heel height, not like the Birks which are totally flat which cause foot & ankle pain.

I bought these for my partner. He is an 8.5/9 in shoes. Mephisto’s size chart said he would be a size 43. I was hesitant to order the 43 since he is a 42 in other brands. The 43 was too big. So I feel the chart is in error. Aside from that, this is a high quality shoe and, he says, comfortable. He did not care for the tan color, though. I wanted to order the 42 in the dark brown color, but when I went to reorder, Zappos did not carry the dark brown. I ended up ordering from another retailer. They are pricey, no doubt, but you get what you pay for. I chose them for him because I already owned two pairs of the women’s Mephisto Helen and love them. These are far superior to the similar direct competitor: Birkenstock. Just my opinion. I expect my partner will have these for many years to come!

I have always worn Birkenstocks for years and decided to try a different brand. i have owned Mephisto shoes and found they superior to other brands and decided to try this sandal. The Mephisto is much more comfortable than the Birkenstock and better built. I looked at the chart for a 9.5 regular and it listed the size as 42. The sandals fit perfectly and are much more comfortable than the Birkenstock with less break in time. Also, The arch seems to be bigger than the Birkenstocks and feels better when walking. The sole is much thicker that the Birkenstocks and will wear and last longer. This sandal is worth the difference in price over the Birkenstocks.

I love these clogs. I usually wear a size 11 medium and these fit perfectly. Very comfortable foot bed with decent arch support. They look great, love the style. Only complaint is that the the tongue cuts into the top of my foot. I’m going to get some tongue pads to remedy that.

this is my second pair. i had the first pair for about 10 years, finally wearing out in the soles and the footpads. What other shoe can endure such activity and stay whole for so long. No question about what to get next. got it.

I am on my second pair of these. I love the fit and they are very comfortable. I wore the first pair for about 3 or 4 years at which point the the rubber soles material cracked. That part was disappointing, but otherwise these are great sandals.

I've always liked Mephisto sandals so when my husband wore his Birkenstocks down in less than a year, I decided to by him a pair of Mephistos. He needed a little time to adjust to his Mephisto's because he claimed Birkenstocks to be negative heel. He now loves his Mephistos. They are true to size, have great arch support and very comfortable, plus I think they will last longer than the Birkenstocks because they are well constructed.

These are extremely comfortable, first of all. The foundation on which you walk or stand is perfectly designed for the 'foot' and when you walk, it is so smooth, easy and 'silent.'

Mephisto Zonder - I am a big flip flop person and I love Reef products. I had this shoe back in 1999 and love it. Now I have it again, and love even more. The support is great; the style is sweet looking. The Zonder looks good with everything. I wear an 11.5 med. and went with 11 med. Fits perfect. Thanks Zappos, Great service.

Not for Flat Feet - The sandals are well constructed and the materials are top notch. The leather is extremely soft; therefore no break in period is needed. My issue is the size of the arch. I have flat feet and the arch is very high; making the sandal unsuitable for those that have flat feet. Too bad because I really liked these sandals and wanted to keep them but it is just too painful.

My Zonder sandals fell apart after two years. The soles cracked and broke off in pieces. A very expensive lesson. Would not buy again.

The zonder fits great and the footbed is extremely comfortable. The problem for me is that the edges of the straps are sort of sharp for lack of a better word and become very uncomfortable on the top of my foot. So I am returning them and will purchase the mephsito sams instead.

These are going back to Zappos post haste. The straps are too large and the sandals are too loose even at the tightest strap adjustment. Also, the leather edges of the straps are kind of hard and dig into the skin of the feet.

I'm writing this review for my husband, who's too busy to sit down and write a review. After I bought 2 pair of Mephisto sandals this summer from Zappos for myself and continued to rave about them, I convinced hubby to try them over Birkenstocks. Well, after wearing them all over Denver, walking the dog, up in the mountains, and while in Trinidad for business (off hours), all he can do is thank me for introducing him to Mephistos. He usually has back and foot pain. Not with these. They look better than Birkenstocks, not as sloppy. He loves the way they hold his foot in place. He says they are so very comfortable with the nice cushy padding over the cork. We sprayed the sandals with Scotch Guard just in case they get wet, we always do that with our sandals. The brown color is very neutral and goes with everything. The size was true for him and the arch support is most sufficient considering that my husband usually wears specially designed orthotics. We are going to recommend them to our 25 year old son who has scoliosis and has trouble finding comfortable shoes. Thank you Zappos for offering these great sandals.

Mephisto Zonder are the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. I usually wear another top name brand and enjoyed them but these are even better. I almost wore these sandals exclusively for 12 days while in Jamaica. I give these shoes the maximum number of stars.

Excellent sandal - I've tried all the brands; Rockport, Birkenstock etc. and the Mephisto’s are the best I've ever purchased. The footbed is softer, but stable and the whole design is better. You get what you pay for!!
